NOTE: Trades Recognition Australia (TRA) have updated the skills assessment process, fees & payment structure. New arrangements will commence from 1st March 2019. Please contact MIBT on 1300 642 457 for further details.
A skills assessment is required by the Department of Home Affairs, to determine if you have the skills and experience necessary to work in Australia at the trade level for your occupation.Skills assessments are conducted against the requirements of the relevant training package qualification for the nominated occupation. This is achieved through the process of Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), where your existing skills and experience are mapped against units of competency contained within the required building qualification.
MIBT is present in the following locations world-wide:
Rockdale, Rocklea, Toowoomba, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Thailand, Hong Kong, United Kingdom, Ireland, Manilla
